Pune: In a heartwarming display of community spirit and environmental consciousness, residents of Suyog Nisarg Co. Op. Housing Society came together to organize a tree plantation drive as part of van mahotsav on Saturday. The event witnessed active participation from youth and kids, as well as the invaluable guidance of senior citizens. With equal participation from both men and women, the well-planned event proved to be a resounding success.

The initiative aimed to not only enhance the beauty of the surroundings but also contribute to a greener and healthier environment for all residents. The event garnered tremendous support, showcasing the strong commitment of the community towards sustainable living.

The tree plantation drive received a significant boost from the active involvement of the youth and children in the society. Eager to make a difference, they played a crucial role in helping the gardener and staff with planting the saplings. The energy and enthusiasm was contagious, motivating the entire community to take part in the noble cause. Kids took an oath to plant and nurture trees. 

The children’s oath resonated deeply with the community, serving as a powerful reminder of the long-term commitment required to maintain a thriving green environment. It symbolized the passing of the torch from one generation to the next, instilling a sense of environmental responsibility in young minds.

What made this event truly special was the valuable contribution of the senior citizens. They shared their vast knowledge and experience in gardening, guiding the younger generation throughout the planting process and actively participating in all stages of the drive. Their presence served as a reminder of the importance of preserving nature for future generations and nurturing a sense of responsibility towards the environment.

To engage the young minds further, a poster competition was organized as part of the tree plantation drive. Children unleashed their creativity by designing vibrant posters that highlighted the significance of trees and the importance of environmental conservation. The competition not only allowed kids to showcase their artistic talents but also educated them about the value of trees in maintaining ecological balance.

The planting of nearly 70 shrubs and trees of different varieties added to the diversity of the society’s landscape. The assortment of trees included nirgudi, tulsi, mango, palas, bahava, jaswand, raan jai, raat rani, gunj, papaya, chafa, mogra, guava, tagar, hadga, kadhipatta, neem, krushnakamal and many more. This carefully chosen selection will not only provide aesthetic appeal but also offer a range of ecological benefits, such as improved air quality, shade, and habitats for local birds and insects.

Residents expressed their delight at the success of the tree plantation drive saying, “It’s heartening to see our community coming together for a cause as important as environmental conservation. By planting these trees, we are investing in a sustainable future for ourselves and the generations to come.”

The event concluded with a collective sense of accomplishment and renewed dedication towards preserving nature. The tree plantation drive is a shining example of how a community’s collective efforts can positively impact the environment. With its lush greenery and a newfound sense of camaraderie, the society is poised to become a model for other communities to follow in their pursuit of a greener and healthier world.

The event was organized by a Parivartan Team, a group of residents from within the Suyog Nisarg Co. Op. Housing Society who desire to bring change by working for the residents and with the residents.

“We residents are grateful to Ln. Raghunath Dhole and his team from Devrai ( https://lnkd.in/d_9het-t ) for his extraordinary contribution in donating saplings and plants not just for us but for numerous individuals, organizations and institutes. We hope we too contributed to his mission to re-green the Indian state of Maharashtra, convert barren landscapes to green forests, eventually replenish groundwater levels, and increase the sustainable nature of socio-economic growth,” shared the residents.
